    摘要: Heating a reaction chamber or other apparatus in the absence of product wafers to a “curing” temperature above a deposition temperature between the deposition of a film on a first set of semiconductor product wafers and the deposition of a film on a second set of semiconductor product wafers. In some embodiments, a boat with filler wafers is in the reaction chamber when the reaction chamber is heated to the curing temperature. In some examples, the films are deposited by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process. With some processes, if the deposition of a film on product wafers is at a temperature below a certain temperature, the film deposited with the product wafer on a boat, filler wafers, and/or other structures in the reaction chamber can cause contamination of product wafers subsequently deposited with a film in the presence of the boat and filler wafers. Contamination from these previously deposited films is inhibited by applying a curing temperature to the deposited fillers in the absence of the product wafers before a film is deposited on the next set of product wafers.

    摘要: One or more impurities may be incorporated within a metal-containing layer of a metal-containing gate electrode to modify the work function of the metal-containing gate electrode of a transistor can affect the threshold voltage of the transistor. In one embodiment, the impurity can be used in a p-channel transistor to allow the work function of a metal-containing gate electrode to be closer to the valence band for silicon. In another embodiment, the impurity can be used in an n-channel transistor to allow the work function of a metal-containing gate electrode to be closer to the conduction band for silicon. In a particular embodiment, a boron-containing species is implanted into a metal-containing layer within the metal-containing gate electrode within a p-channel transistor, so that the metal-containing gate electrode has a work function closer to the valence band for silicon as compared to the metal-containing gate electrode without the boron-containing species.

    摘要: A semiconductor on insulator transistor is formed beginning with a bulk silicon substrate. An active region is defined in the substrate and an oxygen-rich silicon layer that is monocrystalline is formed on a top surface of the active region. On this oxygen-rich silicon layer is grown an epitaxial layer of silicon. After formation of the epitaxial layer of silicon, the oxygen-rich silicon layer is converted to silicon oxide while at least a portion of the epitaxial layer of silicon remains as monocrystalline silicon. This is achieved by applying high temperature water vapor to the epitaxial layer. The result is a silicon on insulator structure useful for making a transistor in which the gate dielectric is on the remaining monocrystalline silicon, the gate is on the gate dielectric, and the channel is in the remaining monocrystalline silicon under the gate.
